Samsung RDNA2 Xclipse 920 GPU 25% Faster Than Adreno 730 in Vulkan Benchmarks
The upcoming Samsung Exynos 2200 mobile processor that is set to feature in the S22 series of phones features an RDNA2 Xclipse 920 GPU designed in collaboration with AMD. This new GPU has surfaced in various Geekbench scores where it handily outperforms the Adreno 730 found in the flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. The Exynos 2200 achieved an OpenCL Geekbench score of 9,143 points which is 50.7% higher than the OnePlus 10 Pro sporting a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. The processor also performed impressively in the Vulkan benchmarks scoring an average of 8,556 points which places it between 17 - 25% faster. These synthetic benchmarks aren't always entirely reflective of actual performance and we have yet to see power and heat figures so we will need to wait until Samsung officially releases the S22 lineup on February 9th to determine if this will be the new mobile champion.

Also, from the deleted tweets.
Leaker's track record means it's a credible, reliable source, but take with a huge pinch of salt as they did delete the tweets.
Exactly this. Heat and power matter a lot more than speed. What good is it to break benchmark records if your phone overheats when you open a new tab in Chrome and lasts only half a day on battery?
SoC vendors produce the worst trash they dare to call OpenGL ES and Vulkan drivers, an actual RDNA2 with AMD drivers is miles ahead of what the competition can come up with.
To give you an idea, the Vulkan spec is being actively limited to allow SoC vendors to continue to produce limited products.
Obviously it benefits AMD because they're trying to shove RDNA2 in literally everywhere except where it would be most useful (which is Ryzen iGPUs), but my guess would be this is just another stupid marketing ploy from Samsung to prop up Exynos, that will fail like everything else Exynos-related because Samsung can't design good silicon.The only people who buy "gaming" phones are assholes with too much money.
